idea for an art installation

you get a large field, ideally on the side of a montain or something. then you get a large number of sheep, ideally 300ish. On each of these sheep you write a word, words that allow themselves to be combined rationally, nothing unusual. There can be trickery, for example if a mother sheep is there with two lambs, the words those three have can resemble that relationship or contradict it. Anyways you write words on all these sheep then you let them roam free and people visiting the installation are given a pen and paper on a clipboard or something and allowed to wander among them writing down the phrases that they see forming. in the end, these are gathered and a novel or poem or someting is made from them.

this is creative commonzed.
give it a go.

working title is

the ewe-ching.
